The #Google Plus social network had that nice concept of "circles" to show the different facets of your life. You could subscribe to only some circles of someone, some circles were public, and other private. Much of my life centers around #Debian (in that case I write in English) but I also like video games and politics (and then it's more for my French friends), but I don't want to annoy all my followers with stuff that they are not interested in.

Why is it that #mastodon, an open-source app designed with the interest of users first, does not have such a feature yet? No I haven't done my homework here, I have not researched the issue tracker or anything, but maybe some of you have strategies to cope with this problem. I mean I follow many Debian contributors to read about their Debian activities, but I'm not interested when they write in German or Italian about random non-Debian topics.

I was a happy user of the Smuxi #IRC client, a nice graphical client available in #debian. Coupled with its engine on a server, it provided me the always connected experience that I want. But issues started to pile up due to lack of maintenance so I started to look for alternatives.

To avoid managing the server part, I subscribed to irctoday.com which provides an IRC bouncer as a service and a web interface. Now I run that web interface as a progressive web app with Chromium. Problem solved!

Just stumbled on this article explaining how superhuman improved their product by focusing on feedback from users who would be disappointed if superhuman were to disappear. A bit long, but an interesting read. Can we apply this to #debian or #debusine ? Would be curious to know what the result would be in terms of benefits that people identify to their use of Debian.

During the mini debconf Toulouse, the #debusine team ran a very nice demo of a workflow that starts with a #debian source package, builds it on 4 architectures, runs lintian/autopkgtest/piuparts on all those architectures and then uploads the source package to Debian's incoming queue after having received the signature from the developer. Already available to all debian developers on debusine.debian.net!

Saying hi to the fediverse (with my brand new account) from the #minidebconf #toulouse where we had a pleasant first day of mini-debcamp. Picture is from early in the morning when it was not yet crowded and with a majority of persons involved in @freexian (and a #debian project leader on the right).
